Favorite Quote:
Outside the station, she stands with her child on the side of the street, taking pictures of cars.

You think she's insane. Until, one day, you notice that she's taking pictures of the license plates of the cars her child gets into.

Because you look. But you do not see.

And she walks out the shop with bags full of cat food. You think she's some crazy cat lady until you find out, she has no cats.

Because you eat. But you do not taste.

It's been a while since their last album but he assures you, he's doing just fine these days, white flecks in his nostrils. Then he asks you if he can spend the night on your couch, even though it stinks.

Because you sniff. But you do not smell.

And they say "Just OK" when you ask them how school was. Then you wonder what they're hiding until you find their diary and the last entry reads "I wish you'd give me some privacy."

Because you listen. But you do not hear.

And they've got a bruise over their eye and you run the tips of your fingers over it and ask them how it happened. You believe them. Until it happens again.

Because you touch. But you do not feel.

And they walk past you everyday, one million stories, each waiting to be told. Waiting for you to ask.

Because you live. But very few, love.

this is a very interesting picture not only does it require great talent in drawing it takes a very interesting odd and slightly disturbing creative ability, i am also into doing charcoal but mine are more abstract one is called creation the other is named not human

Why yes, I've been watching Lynch films for years!  It's such an honor to be recieving such positive feedback from everyone.  If it weren't for people like you, I certainly wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today.  And really, I don't want to become repetitive, so I've sort of written this as a response to everybody who's commented.  It was a while ago that I drew this, and looking back, I don't really "get it" so much myself!  I can say that it's the first piece I'd ever done proportioned to the rule of 3rds, and it was conceived more as an atmospheric piece.  I always love to hear peoples own interpretations of the work, you give me great new perspectives all the time!
